"During the last ten years, I have spent a considerable amount of time working as an entomologist in various tropical destinations on projects involving biology and conservation of insects and other invertebrates. What started as an attempt to simply document some of these organisms with a camera my wife had surprised me with one Christmas day quickly developed into a photographic passion for capturing all things small and overlooked by many nature photographers. Very early on I discovered that it gives me immensely more satisfaction to lower my lens and look for animals hiding on the forest floor than to take a picture of an elephant or toucan, subjects that have already been expertly photographed."
